Typically on Hondas, the axle nut is torqued to 180 ft-lb.

I have read articles that if you use a 1/2' drive breaker bar, expect to go flying into the wall with a broken breaker bar. So they recommend using a 3/4" drive breaker bar or even better a 3/4" drive air impact wrench.

So what have you guys used to remove it? Ridgid sells a 1/2" electrical impact wrench rated at 450 ft-lb. Would this be enough to remove it being that it is 1/2" ? I would think so. I just want to get your opinions.

Thanks,
